Prayer...

Dear Lord,



Today we pray for mothers--


our own mothers, and mothers evrywhere,


who hav made such a major contribution


to the good qualities we hav,


sometimes through genetics,


more often through great effort and patient instruction,


and who hav done their best


to gently polish away our rough edges.


Lord, please bless our mothers


for the endless hours of time they spent


and the boundless energy they invested in us.


Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf


as they often gave up or deferred their own dreams


so that we could hav ours.


Bless our mothers for always being there for us,


for being the person we know we can turn to


when we need comfort, encouragement, or just a hug.


Bless our mothers for makin a home for us


where we could feel safe, where we felt we belonged.


Most of all, Lord,


bless our mothers for their unconditional luv,


for loving us no matter what,


and for frequently showin luv


in ways that make us feel valued and cherished.


Lord, plz bless our mothers mightily.


Strengthen them, soothe them,


wrap them in Your infinite luv


and shower them with blessings


too numerous to count, too magnificent to describe.


We luv them, admire them, respect them,


and we wish that You wud giv them back


many times the good they gave to us.


In Jesus' name we pray; Amen.
